DESCRIPTION:Dr Dalene M. Swanson\, University of Stirling \n Dalene is an educationalist and her research expertise spans (reconceptualist) curriculum perspectives\, mathematics education\, critical cultural studies\, ethical internationalisation\, democracy in education\, and social and ecological justice. She is interested broadly in critical\, ideological and socio-political perspectives in education and society\, and mostly writes from poststructural and de/post-colonial perspectives. In particular\, she has expertise in critical global citizenship\, democratic education\, and indigeneity\, especially the African onto-epistemology of Ubuntu. Philosophical and social concerns around poverty\, marginalisation\, (neo)colonialism\, as well as her research into “the construction of disadvantage” frame much of her work. Hegemonic tenets within neoliberalism\, economic development and globalisation reflect ongoing concerns of global injustice. Dalene also has expertise in critical arts-based and narrative methodologies (especially ‘critical rhizomatic narrative’ methodology she developed)\, and other creative\, post-foundational and counter-hegemonic research and writing methodologies and practices. Dalene also brings arts-based approaches to bear on mathematics education as a decolonising practice. \n More information can be found at: http://rms.stir.ac.uk/converis-stirling/person/23287 \nDecolonising Global Citizenship (Education) and ethical\, indigenous\, onto-epistemological alternatives \n Global citizenship and associated discourses on globalisation often comport with a moral liberal response to new widespread place-based formations of race\, class\, gender\, migratory and ethnic inequality. This often-imported liberalism resides uncomfortably and selectively alongside increasing politically and ideologically invested polarisations\, pernicious levels of poverty\, global violence and states/frames of war (Butler\, 2009)\, widespread conflict-induced population displacement and mass migration\, human and ecological degradation\, the rise of new forms of extremist ethnic nationalism\, and differentiated capitalist formations geopolitically. It is also associated with a concomitant rise in cosmopolitanism that resides in complex arrangement with a rise in world conservativism and fascism\, theo-political and ideological polarisations\, along with new fragmentations and integrations as the political terrain shifts in accordance with the economic perturbations of late modernity and global capitalism in crisis. With it comes a seeming resurgence of humanism and humanitarianism\, albeit that these are partial and selective. In this sense\, global citizenship is contradictory and less than innocent\, and can be said to be at least partially caught up in the globalisation project of neoliberal spread and capitalist imperialism (Swanson\, 2011). \nOn the international education front\, over the last few decades\, global citizenship discourses have been taken up with some intensity in policy documents\, vision statements and higher education and schooling curricula documents within Western parliamentary democracies\, as well as having increasingly pervaded developing educational contexts. They have also most notably be taken up in internationalisation discourses in higher and further education contexts in an attempt\, as public relations strategy\, to provide ‰Û÷positive’ moral justification for the new forms of academic neo-colonialism. \n On the surface\, global citizenship and globalisation discourses are promoted in ways that seem to herald world humanism\, reflecting a sense of global interdependence and mutualism. Under a banner of globalisation and economic progressivism\, the world embetterment these discourses promise appears uncontestable and lies within the current common-sense doxic order of things that render alternatives improbable and irrational (Bourdieu\, 1990). Much globalisation parlance tends to be framed within Western Enlightenment thinking that suggests that the global citizenship reach and outstretched hand to ‰Û÷the other’ is necessarily benevolent or of mutual interest (Swanson\, 2010\, 2011\, 2015b)\, one which often hides under a banner of neutrality the difference in power relations\, the cultural imperialism\, the individualistic orientation and self-interestedness\, and the latent symbolic violence (Bourdieu & Wacquant\, 1992) in such global citizenship overtures. Global citizenship’s institutionalisation as the ‰Û÷great white hope’ of international relations (Brysk\, 2002) testifies to its often racialised and privileged framing. Education systems and curricula that celebrate the common sense goodness of global citizenship without challenging its hidden curriculum (Jackson\, 1968) create spectres (Derrida\, 1994) of what might otherwise have been imaginable\, and fall short of and even lie counter to their stated purposes in their nullifying effect. In so doing\, they fail to enable a world structured according to a radical hope (Lear\, 2006; Swanson\, 2015a) of global justice\, to development as freedom (Sen\, 1999)\, and to the action-oriented imaginings that bring into the realm of possibility a renewal of the world (Arendt\, 1958). This promise of renewal ushers in an imagined world of widened democratic possibilities and alternative wisdoms as expressions of lived experiences for those living on/within the margins and/or living the violent consequences of perforated borders and border epistemologies. \n This presentation offers perspectives of counter-hegemonic possibility\, of hybrid third fora (Bhabha\, 2004)\, and the inclusion of indigenous wisdom and embodiments\, such as Ubuntu onto-epistemology (Ramose\, 2002a\, 2002b; Swanson\, 2007\, 2015a\, 2015b). It offers a view of surface-to-surface and intersoular (Serres\, 2008) ontologies as alternative onto-epistemologies of conscience (Swanson\, 2015b). It does so to the end of decolonising global citizenship in order to make possible viable ethical alternatives and deep democratic actions. \n References: \n Arendt\, H. (1958). The human condition.

Sheridan\, Elizabeth Griffith\, Dion Boucicault\, Oscar Wilde\, Bernard Shaw\, J.M. Synge\, Lady Augusta Gregory\, W.B. Yeats\, SeÌÁn O’Casey\, Denis Johnston\, Mary Manning\, Samuel Beckett\, Stewart Parker\, and Christina Reid \n-Performances of the plays Grania by Lady Gregory and Purgatory by W.B. Yeats \nA remarkable number of Ireland’s great playwrights have hailed from Protestant backgrounds\, despite the fact that Catholics have always comprised a much greater proportion of the Irish population. There are\, of course\, two primary reasons for this. First\, since conventional plays were not written in the Irish language until the late nineteenth century\, Irish Gaelic Catholics were\, for a long time\, without a dramatic tradition to plug into (by contrast\, Irish Protestants often felt a strong cultural tie to the English dramatic tradition). Second\, Irish Protestants had\, for centuries\, much greater access to formal education and to the theatre worlds of Dublin and London than Catholics did\, due to the Penal Laws and other repressive\, anti-Catholic measures. \nWhile these factors may explain Protestant dominance in Irish drama prior to Catholic Emancipation and the widespread adoption of the English language in the early-to-mid-nineteenth century\, it is a curious fact that\, since that time\, a significant number of Ireland’s great playwrights have continued to come from the island’s relatively small Protestant communities. What is perhaps even more curious is that critics have often failed to spot the degree to which the works by these playwrights betray the influence of the beliefs and social values/anxieties associated with their Protestant backgrounds. Indeed\, in Inventing Ireland (1995)\, Declan Kiberd rightly points out that\, while critics of Irish literature have readily recognised the importance of Roman Catholicism to the work of lapsed Catholics like James Joyce\, they have frequently ignored or underestimated the importance of the specifically Protestant preoccupations found in works by “lapsed Protestants” like Bernard Shaw\, W.B. Yeats\, J.M. Synge\, SeÌÁn O’Casey\, and Samuel Beckett. \nIn the years since Kiberd made that observation\, an increasing number of scholars have begun to investigate the ways in which the great Irish Protestant dramatists were shaped by their Protestant upbringings. This conference aims to bring many of these exciting\, new scholars together to share and discuss their groundbreaking work. At the conference\, their remit will\, of course\, involve illuminating the Protestant aspects of the classic works they discuss\, but they will also demonstrate – by examining a wide variety of writers\, including frequently neglected women playwrights – the heterogeneity of Irish Protestantism. (There are\, after all\, marked cultural and social differences between the various Protestant communities in Ireland; one need only think of the repeatedly rude remarks that Irish Anglicans like Jonathan Swift\, Lady Morgan\, and Bernard Shaw made about Ulster Scots Presbyterians.) Finally\, these scholars will try to understand why Irish Protestants have been so successful at writing plays; is there something about drama and performance that particularly appeals to the Irish Protestant psyche? \nTo register for this conference – or to obtain more information about it – please write to Dr. David Clare (david.clare@nuigalway.ie) or Dr. Feargal Whelan (feargal.whelan@gmail.com). The conference is free of charge but space is limited\, so advance registration is required.

In the case of Knocknagow (Ireland 1918) and Guests of the Nation (Ireland 1935)\, two significant films in the early history of Irish cinema\, very little is known about the screenwriters – Mrs. NF Patton (Knocknagow) and Mary Manning (Guests of the Nation). These films could be considered landmark films in early Irish cinema history at the level of narrative theme\, historical significance and audience appeal. Both films were written by women but very little historical references are found for either writer. Examining the archive material of both these films\, this study traces through the reviews of these films\, the place awarded to the screenwriter in the documented history. Is this just a case of the screenwriter being cast to the periphery or is there further marginalisation happening at the level of gender? Drawing on theories around social capital\, this paper explores what the barriers are to recognition and record. Is the status of the male author privileged over that of the screenwriter\, or is there a gender bias at work\, relegating women screenwriters to the margins\, on two levels\, as screenwriters and as women? \nDr DÌ_Ì_g O’Connell \nlectures in Film & Media Studies at the Institute of Art\, Design & Technology\, Dun Laoghaire\, Co. Dublin. She is the author of New Irish Storytellers: Narrative Strategies in Film (Intellect\, 2010) and Documentary in a Changing State (Cork University press\, 2012).

Nevertheless\, in comparing our perceptions with those of others\, there is often nothing but contradiction\, so that the point of thinking seems to be to erase those contradictions: But what if even thought is full of contradictions? For Merleau-Ponty\, we have no better evidence for this than the four antinomies that Kant places before us both as a warning and in order to untangle their contradictions. For\, in spite of the contradictions inherent in the absolute or pure use of the intuitions of space and time and the concepts of substance\, mechanical causality\, and necessary being\, these particular contradictions are still “the very condition of consciousness\, ” so that without reflection\, not merely perception but life itself “would probably dissipate itself in ignorance of itself or in chaos.” This claim serves as a warning regarding our assumptions about phenomenology\, for when we announce our faith in “the primacy of perception” we may not know what we are actually claiming. This paper asks what it means to say that scientific knowledge and physico-mathematical relations make sense only insofar as we understand that intellectual knowledge and abstract ideas have the same structures and horizons as our perceptual experience? \nDorothea Olkowski is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Colorado\, Colorado Springs and Director of the Cognitive Studies Minor. She specializes in feminist theory\, phenomenology and contemporary French philosophy. Her publications include Time in Feminist Phenomenology (with Christina SchÌ_es and Helen Fielding\, Indiana UP\, 2012)\, Postmodern Philosophy and the Scientific Turn(Indiana UP 2011)\, Feminist Interpretations of Merleau-Ponty (with Gail Weiss\, Penn State University Press\, 2006)\, The Universal (In the Realm of the Sensible) (Edinburgh University Press\, 2007)\, Resistance\, Flight\, Creation\, Feminist Enactments of French Philosophy (Cornell\, 2000) and Gilles Deleuze and the Ruin of Representation (University of California Press\, 1999). \n For questions\, please contact felix.omurchadha@nuigalway.ie URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/moore-institute-discipline-of-philosophy-research-seminar-idea-multiplicity-reflection-merleau-pontys-radical-concepts-by-prof-dorothea-olkowski-university-of-colorado/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20160412T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20160412T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T184310 CREATED:20160824T134650Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134650Z UID:1921-1460476800-1460476800@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Early Modern Research Seminar - Dr Sajed Chowdhury and Dr Felicity Maxwell DESCRIPTION:Early Modern Research Seminar \nDr Sajed Chowdhury: The Metaphysics of ‰Û÷Making’ in the Verse Miscellany of Constance Aston Fowler (c.1635-1638) \nDr Felicity Maxwell: Calling for collaboration: Women and public service in Dorothy Moore’s transnational Protestant correspondence URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/early-modern-research-seminar-dr-sajed-chowdhury-and-dr-felicity-maxwell/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20160408T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20160408T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T184310 CREATED:20160824T134647Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134647Z UID:1892-1460116800-1460116800@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:CAMPS Lab\, Dr Jessica Cooke\, Centre for Antique\, Medieval and Pre-Modern Studies\, NUIG 'The Annaghdown Doorway and King Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair:Tuarastal and Patronage in Twelfth Century Connacht' DESCRIPTION:CAMPS Lab\, Dr Jessica Cooke\, Centre for Antique\, Medieval and Pre-Modern Studies\, NUIG ‘The Annaghdown Doorway and King Ruaidhri Ua Conchobhair:Tuarastal and Patronage in Twelfth Century Connacht’ URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/camps-lab-dr-jessica-cooke-centre-for-antique-medieval-and-pre-modern-studies-nuig-the-annaghdown-doorway-and-king-ruaidhri-ua-conchobhairtuarastal-and-patronage-in-twelfth-century-connacht/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20160408T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20160408T110000 DTSTAMP:20260403T184310 CREATED:20160824T134650Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134650Z UID:1919-1460113200-1460113200@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Moore Institute Visiting Fellow Dr Colin Reid\, Northumbria University presents: 'Constitutional Resistance as Legal Defence: Irish Lawyers and the 1848 Rebellion'.
